[Opinions] Micah for a girl?

I think someone may have posted about this a while ago, but I was wondering: what do you all think about Micah for a girl? I really like the combo Micah Noelle, but do you think people will think it is Micah Noel, a boys name? And what about spelling it Mica, will people pronounce it MEE-ka instead of MY-ka?

Thanks for any help/input/suggestions you have on this subject.

At some point in time, everyone studies a little geology in school...(m)

And I'm sure Mica(h) will love it when her classmates find out that the stone mica has perfect cleavage.

In other words? Just say no.

I know Micah is a boys name, but it always sounded like a girls name to me, so YES

I can see it on a character, but not on an actual child.

I actually just think of rocks...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mica

Mica is a rock. Micah is a trendy spelling of a rock. Which is just odd...

That said, I wouldn't use it, but I don't mind it on other people's kids. I prefer it on a boy, though. On a girl, it doens't soudn femenine, and there are so many other good names out there for girls. I do like Mika, though, prounced MY-ka. Less rocky.

By the way, I know it's an established name that dates back to biblical times... But personally, I think of rocks when I hear it..

No way! It's a male name, let's keep it that way.

I prefer Micah for a boy, but I do like Micah Noelle for a girl; I don't think people will get confused and think its a boy's name.

I like Micah for either sex. I prefer the look of the spelling Mica, but many will probably think it's mee-ka. it's up to you.

I think Mica Noelle / Micah Noelle is really cute and has a great sound to it. but I do tend to like male names on girls (Georgie is one of my favorites for a girl!). plus Michael is a family name for me.

do what feels right to you.

Does spelling it Mykah, Mycah, or Mikah make it look any more feminine? Or just Kree8iv? I like Mikah the best out of these.

I don't think so - changing the spelling to "fymynyze" it only makes the whole name look unintellectual, IMO.

If you like the sound of Micah, how about going for Mika instead? It's a Japanese girl's name.

I thought of it for a while so I dont loathe it on a girl, but I prefer it so much more on a boy.

I do know that back when I was thinking female, I had the combo Micah Noelle. Some will probably think boy and Micah Noel, but wouldnt care too much. And I pn Noelle and Noel different, so I dont really see it being a problem. I seem to have different opinions from most though

I dont like the pn MEE-ka, I much prefer MY-ka.
